About the Game

Lucky Dog 1, from renowned indie BL developer Tennenouji, is finally available in English!

They've only got one shot to get back on top. Good thing luck is on their side.

It all starts with the slam of a prison door. Four captains from the same Mafia family, the CR:5, are taken out in one fell swoop and left to rot behind bars——but they're in luck because our hero, Gian, is already there.

While Gian's normally just a run-of-the-mill wiseguy doing petty jobs for the family while he's on the outside and taking it easy while he's in the slammer, that all changes when he gets a call from the boss: if he can break the captains out, he'll be rewarded with a spot at the top of the hierarchy.

Can he pull off a job this big, or is it more than even Gian's fabled good luck can manage?

With everything from prison breaks, going on the lamb, conflicts with rival gangs and four fellow criminals to pursue passionate (uncensored!) relations with, you're in for a real thrill!

The game is fully voiced and several voices that are sure to sound awfully familiar.

The flagship title of indie BL game developer, Tennenouji. Written by Jinnai (founder of Kalmia8, director of Fashioning Little Miss Lonesome and Fxxx Me Royally!!) with stylish art by Yura (Hana Awase, Absolute Obedience, Enzai).
